RE: issues connecting to RDS from psql 9.2 v 14.2

Ok, that makes sense. Attempting the below, but receiving this error:

./configure --without-readline --with-includes=/usr/lib --with-openssl

checking for CRYPTO_new_ex_data in -lcrypto... no
configure: error: library 'crypto' is required for OpenSSL

[postgres(at)servername postgresql-14.2]$ ls -lhrt /usr/lib/*crypt*

Looks like you neglected to build psql with OpenSSL support, and the server is insisting on having an SSL connection.
